Which of the following can potentially influence effective population size (Ne)?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of gene flow between geographically separated populations can potentially influence effective population size (Ne) as it can increase genetic diversity by introducing new alleles into the population. Factors such as length of life span after reproduction and body size of individuals may affect the population's demography, but they do not directly impact Ne. The number of alleles per trait is related to genetic diversity but does not necessarily reflect Ne.
